Fatal Accidsnt in the Michigan City Race. 
Mr. George M. Finnev, a member of the crew of the 
schooner yacht Tartar, was knocked overboard by 
the gybing of the boom on the boat Sunday 
morning at Michigan City, at the time of the start home 
of the fleet in the annual Michigan City race of the 
Columbia . Yacht Club. Mr. Finney sank and did not 
rise after he was thrown overboard by the boom, which 
struck him in the back of the neck. Witbin five minutes 
the life-saving crew recovered the body, but physicians 
thought that death would have ensued from the blow 
of the boom even if Mr. Finney had not been thrown 
• into the water at all. Tt is reported that his neck was 
broken. 
Life had departed when the body was recovered. This 
unfortunate accident naturally caused great depression 
among the yachtsmen who had participated in the very 
pleasant affair. 
The Tartar carried ex-Commodore E. J. Baker as 
skipper, and with him were Mrs. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. 
E. P. Eastman, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Farwell. Mr. and 
Mrs. J. F. Nicholson, ex-Commodore Thomas H. 
Boyle, with Mr. Finney, the victim of the accident, and 
several ycung people, residents of Chicago. The yacht 
at the time of the accident was starting out. The fore- 
sail was hardly half hoisted. A shift in the wind caused 
Commodore Baker, who was at the wheel, to call out a 
warning. Mr. Finney did not get out of the way in time 
and the big boom caught him at full swing. 
Vencedor Wins Michigan City Race. 
Vencedor, the crack 50-footer of the Columbia Y. C. 
on last Saturday defeated its ancient rival Siren, making 
it two out of three, and thus winning permanently the 
trophy which is the prize of this annual event. La Rita, 
with a time allowance of 52:30, made a close bid for 
first place. 
The race was sailed under a 15-milc breeze, reaching 
practically all the way, the boats being held on the star- 
board tack and carrying straight on down the lake. 
There were thirty-one starters in the race, which was 
a spirited matter throughout. There was a hot duel 
between Vencedor and Siren, and the two 50-footers 
kept hand in hand until well below South Chicago, when 
Vencedor began steadily to pull away. The guest boats 
carried a crowd of race followers and the town of Michi- 
gan City had much ado to accommodate them. Follow-

Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
OYSTER BAY, LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, June 21. 
The second series race of the Seawanhaka knockabouts 
for the Center Island cup and for prize offered by Mr. 
Johnston de Forest, was held on Saturday, June 21. The 
wind was strong from S.E. at the start hauling to S. at 
finish and moderating. Bobs tore her mainsail and had to • 
sail with two reefs in, this accounts for her slow time over 
the course. 
Mr. De Forest's boat finished first and the prize offered

YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
Messrs. Swasey, Raymond & Page, the Boston firm 
of naval architects, engineers and yacht brokers, have 
opened an office at 17 Broadway, New York City. The 
New York office will be in charge of Mr. A. B. Ray- 
mond, M. E. 
A copy of the New York Y. C. book for the year 
1902, has been received at this office. The book is larger 
and more complete than ever before. In previous years 
the book has been bound in white cloth, but this time 
it is bound in navy blue — a more serviceable color. 
Half-tone reproductions of the club's town house and 
also of the different club stations are shown. At the 
time the book went to press there were in the club 
fleet 475 vessels, made up as follows: 76 schooners, 14 
auxiliary schooners, 128 single-masted vessels and yawls, 
to auxiliary single-masted vessels and yawls, 22$ steam 
yachts, 8 naphthas and 16 launches. The club has added 
many members since moving into its new home on 
Forty-fourth street, and it is to-day the strongest yacht- 
ing organization of the world.

National Rtfle Association. 
On June 12 a meeting of the directors of the National Rifle As- 
sociation was held in New York city. Gen. Bird W. Spencer pre- 
sided. Concerning it the press dispatches present the following: 
Lieut. Jones fead a letter received from Lieut. -Col. \V. E. 
Hodgins. secretary of the Dominion Rifle Association, in which it 
was stated that the date suggested for the international match 
between the Canadian and American teams for the Palma trophy, 
Aug. 26, was satisfactory to the Canadians. This match will be 
shot on the ranges at Ottawa. The Palma trophy was won by the 
Canadian team last year at Sea Girt. Lieut.-Col. Hodgins also 
stated that the American riflemen would be welcome to shoot in 
all the matches of the Dominion Association, except those which 
are exclusively for members of the British forces. 
Gen. Bird W. Spencer announced that candidates for the Cana- 
dian team could shoot at Sea Girt on July 4, 5, 11 and 12, and 
Aug. 1,,2, 9 and 10. They can also shoot at other State ranges, 
and score cards will be furnished by the National Association. 
These cards will be examined by a committee of tiiree, which will 
select the team. The question of raising money to pay the ex- 
penses of the Canadian team was referred to a special committee. 
The meeting at Sea Girt will open on Aug. 26 and last until 
Sept. 6. It was decided to give a trophy for a match between 
teams of West Point and Annapolis, and the Association will try 
to secure a perpetual trophy for this contest, so that the teams can 
meet each year. There will also be an intercollegiate match for 
teams of four undergraduates of any college or university. The 
colloges or universities allowed to enter this competition will be 
those recognized by the University Club. The Leach cup, which 
has not been competed for since 1882, will be shot for this year. 
This cup is for the long-range championship. The affiliated 
organization match will be shot on local ranges of affiliated clubs 
throughout the United States on the same day as the match is 
shot at Sea Girt. This will be Labor Day. 
The conditions of the president's match have been changed from 
5 to 7 shots on all ranges. This is the most important match in 
the United States. It really decides the military championship, 
and is open to any member of the Army or Navy or National 
Guard. An effort is to be made to get President Roosevelt in 
some way to recognize this match. A committee will go to Wash- 
ington to see the President and invite him to visit Sea Girt and 
present the prizes. 
The question of reorganizting the Association, with a view of 
making it what its name implies, a national organization, was fully 
discussed. 
A committee will wait on President Roosevelt to get his views, 
and then report to the directors. 
Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
San Francisco, June 15. — At the Columbia Pistol and Rifle 
Club's regular shoot to-day there was fine shooting in a fickle wind. 
L. C. Hinkel broke the record with the revolver. He is a new 
member, and his shooting ties the club's clean target record with 
pistol made last shoot by Ed Hovey. The previous record was 
31, by Tom Anderton, of Walnut Hill, Mass. Hinkel used a .32- 
20 S. & W., and Walsrode powder. Brannagan tied the club's 
previous record of 35 with revolver, all shots being in the oin. 
ring. Daiss and Dr. Twist had a red-hot race for first place with 
.22cal. rifle, Daiss winning by one point; but the Doctor gained 
three points on his ten best scores over Daiss. and felt like a 
winner. Pape and Young had it on the rifle matches, Young 
winning on the three-shot and Pape on the ten-shot, and honors 
were easy. There are signs of a revolver match with the police 
team. Scores, off-hand, on Columbia target: 
Rifle 200yds.: A. H. Pape. 43, 50, 62; F. O. Young 53. Three-

may care to have published. Mail all such matter to

The following, taken from "The Sportsman," was sent to us by 
a contributor: "'Writing of the Memphis shoot, a Scimitar man 
says: 'Among the better known shots may be mentioned Capt. 
A. W. Money, Oakland. N. J., owner of the American E C. 
powder mills, and one of the most enthusiastic sportsmen in the 
L'nited States. Capt. Money, though seventy-three years of age, 
made good scores throughout the morning shooting, and broke 
more targets than many a younger man. He attends almost every 
shoot of consequence in the country, and his presence at Memphis 
shows that the opinion was abroad in the North that the tourna- 
ment would be well worth attend ng. He has probably iuinred 
more different kinds of game, and in more different latitudes, than 
any sportsman in the country, and his record for killing live birds 
over the trap and in the field is very well known.' Captain 
Money is not seventy-three yet, but with his wonderful vitality, 
there is no doubt that he will live to be twice seventy-three, and 
shoot well then. 
*L 
Mr. E. C. Fort, of Swanton, Yt., under date of June 21, writes 
us as follows: "At the Fourth of July shoot to be given by the 
Robin Hood Powder Company, at Swanton, Vt.. there will be 
seven 15, three 20. and one 25 target events, with a total of $18 
for the day. Special feature of this shoot is the contest for the 
Robin Hood cup, $25 added, which represents the five-man cham- 
pionship of the New England States, New York and eastern 
Canada. The cup was last ccn'rMid for at Champ'ain, N. Y., 
May 30. five teams contesting, and v as won bv Fort, Wiseman^ 
Head, White and Richardson, of the Robin Hood teamji by a 
score of 91 per cent. ; Champ'ain second with 90 per cent., at 
100 targets per team. The shoot is open to amateurs only, with
